5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating exploration of life in Auschwitz,
By A reader (Austin, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: People in Auschwitz (Published in Association with the United States Holocaust Me) (Hardcover)
This is a scholarly but very readable account of what the Auschwitz experience was like. The author performed thorough research and interviews with numerous former prisoners and staff to get a close-up look at the different sections of the camp, including Canada and the inmate infirmary, different aspects of camp life, such as resistance and sexuality, and the experiences and interactions of different classes of prisoners and the SS. Despite the book's serious and scholarly tone, it has a humane and personal feel to it, probably because the author himself was an inmate and so many interviews were quoted from in the book. It also describes the construction, evolution and liberation of the camp. This book is a must read for anyone studying Auschwitz.

This review is from: People in Auschwitz (Published in Association with the United States Holocaust Me) (Hardcover)
I have a library of 150 books on the Holocaust, and am pleased to have added this one to my collection. One of my interests is the kind of personalities that comprised the whole concentration camp (Auschwitz in this case) experience and environment.
